Appearances: GIDS

gga

This week I’ll be attending the Great Indian Developer Summit
in Bangalore. It’s a three day, three stream conference on .NET, Java
and Web. Attended by roughly 3,500 people. Everything’s bigger in
India. Unlike previous conferences, at this one I’ll be
presenting. The first time I ever have. Wish me luck.

On Tuesday evening at 7pm, I’ll be on a panel with Avishek
Sen Gupta and Srikanth Seshadri talking about the
ThoughtWorksTech Radar: our senior technologists’
opinions on what you should be thinking about in the current world of
tech.

I’ll be focusing on JavaScript and mobile stuff, as I think those are
both pretty hot areas right now.

Go sign-up if this sounds interesting to you, or if you just
want to see me humiliate myself on stage.

Massively Scalable RESTful Architectures

Then, on Wednesday morning at 9.55am, Nikhil Mungel and I
will be talking about designing and implementing RESTful web
application architectures to scale to truely massive user and data
loads. Hundreds of millions of users, petabytes of data. I’ll be doing
some architecture hand-waving, and then Nikhil will back me up by
showing how you can actually make this happen.

It’s all about engineering for serendipity.

Come along to which ever of these tickle your fancy, and if you see me
looking extremely nervous, say hello. But, approach slowly.
